The standard Holiday Inn set up so you know what you are getting and the room quality is always okay. The hotel is some distance from the rail station and a taxi from the station will cost about £8. As there appeared to be little choice close by we decided to eat in. Food was very ordinary although I do have to say the bar man was helpful and attentive. Breakfast was poor and not enjoyed because it was poorly cooked and presented.

Not sure why this hotel is so far out of town, as it is not close to any big business parks, although you are right on the A14, which is useful. This hotel is for business people, a conference was on when we stayed [one night], and everything there was organised around this. The rooms are fine, quite spacious, and we had a decent room rate without booking months in advance. I would be happy to stay there again.

Breakfast was very expensive though, at £13.95 each. Once again, wireless internet was over-priced at £9.95, it is time hotels stopped charging for this service.

This hotel in nothing special but clean, and this may be picky but I am a business traveller and spend a lot of nights in Holiday Inn's - this is the only one that never upgrades my room. It is the normal policy of HI to upgrade, on my last visit they told me the restaurant was not open because it was quiet - but when I asked if my room had been upgraded they told me in the same sentence they had no rooms left ????
It also advertises a beautician for things like massages or pedicure - what they dont tell you is only on a Wednesday night and a Friday night. Not what I would expect.

room was good, clean and had heating that could be controlled this together with a window which could be opened made staying here a pleasure. mt husband has breathing problems and many hotels are too warm for him.

Staff were friendly nothing too much trouble.

swimming pool and spa lovely. Gym looked very good but didnt venture in this time.
would stay here again
